Xander Cuizon Tice
Designer based between Seattle and London.
Apparel designer with six years of professional experience desinging men’s outerwear, bottoms, denim, sportswear, swim, knits, and accessories. Background in footwear and industrial design with experience spanning concept development, idea creation, technical design, material research, and product development.
My design practice explores the relationship
between movement, making, and the environments we inhabit. Drawing from
psychogeography, embodied design thinking, and my experiences as both a runner
and designer, I investigate how movement through space can generate new forms
of design inquiry. Rather than treating design as a process of solving
predefined problems, I approach it as a method of exploration shaped by
observation, reflection, and making.
Central to my practice is the belief that making
is a form of thinking. Through drawing, model making, prototyping, and
experimentation, I use making to uncover ideas that cannot always be reached
through analysis alone. I view the body as an active participant in the design
process, with movement, sensory experience, and physical interaction informing
both the process and outcome of a project.
My work explores how everyday objects can extend
beyond their functional purpose to create moments of curiosity, reflection, and
engagement. Projects such as Pen Notes and Object Chair translate
movement, rhythm, architecture, and spatial experience into physical form.
With a background in fashion, footwear, and
textile design, I create movement-centered objects that encourage greater
awareness of our relationships with the body, objects, and the built
environment.
